traffic citation

I had have a traffic citation last year and I hired Jennifer L. Allen Law Firm to do with my case in the Orange County Court behalf me. The case was represented by Attorney Linder Willeford in the O.C.C. He did professionally his job. Thus my traffic citation was dismissed, so that it will not appear... on my driving record or cause me to get any license points.

Gets the job done

I was clocked going 15 over and Jennifer got it reduced to a improper equipment which meant no insurance points!!! I was a little hesitant because of not hearing from them before the court date (just wanted to make sure someone would show up to court for me) but after sending them an email, I was rea...ssured by Gaby that everything would be taken care of. I appreciate the hard work of this team and would definitely recommend their services.

Satisfied With Handling of Speeding Ticket

In April 2016 I received a not inconsequential speeding ticket for going 86 mph in a 65 zone (not unsurprisingly, the 6 speed coupe I was driving at the time has a lot more zip than my 15 year old SUV) and contacted Jennifer Allen Law to handle the case. My case was continued 3 times and was just res...olved this month, reduced to an improper equipment with no points added to my license or insurance. Having a ticket for exceeding the speed limit in excess of 20 mph resolved in such a matter was a big relief for me, and I'm very pleased with the service Jennifer Allen Law offered. As another reviewer mentioned, contacting their office via phone usually wasn't very effective, but I was happy to communicate via email. I didn't always receive a prompt update on the status of my case, but they responded quickly to my emails inquiring about my case. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Jennifer Allen Law since she was able to get me the best possible outcome for my considerable speeding ticket, and if I'm pulled over again near Chapel Hill, will definitely use her services again.

Speeding Ticket

Ms. Allen helped me get my ticket reduced to a low level North Carolina specific infraction that had no impact on my out-of-state driving record or impact my insurance. I am very happy with the service Ms. Allen and her team provided me with since I live out of state and could not be present in court... in Alamance County. I would use her services again (hope not to though) if the need arises. I do not want another speeding ticket. Communications was prompt and cordial.

Ms. Allen and staff - Very Professional, First-Rate

Ms. Allen represented me in court in March 2016 for a speeding ticket I received in Chapel Hill earlier that year. She and her staff were professional and first-rate for the following reasons; First, I called a few lawyers in the Chapel Hill area. One of Ms. Allen's staff called me back even... though it was in the early evening on a Friday. She listened carefully to my specific situation, then gave me the basics of how the firm handles a case like mine. The information was clear and concise. There was no pressure in her presentation. She answered all my question on how I was to complete the forms to hire Ms. Allen and any documentation I needed to send to her. Second, once I hired Ms. Allen to represent me, her staff kept me updated on when the case would be heard, even when it was rescheduled for another date. Lastly, once Ms. Allen presented my case to the court and received the outcome (which was most favorable ), a staff member promptly contacted me of the decision. This was the outcome; "Ms. Allen appeared in court for you in Orange County and was able to get your citation dismissed so that it will not appear on your driving record or cause you to get any license or insurance points." The case was resolved on a Friday and her staff got me the results that weekend ( a Sunday evening). I was impressed by the whole process, start to finish. Thank you for the opportunity to write this review.
